[QUOTE="Ger34, post: 2918869, member: 91668"] I understand your pain, I too have seen the "new guy" in camp show up with a beautifully made rifle that drives tacks.....in the right hands.. Most of the time they have this bewildered look on their face when they miss an animal, and first thing they do is turn their rifle around looking at it like it's the rifles fault. Then someone else shoots the rifle at a 1 l water bottle at 300 and "poof" goes the bottle. Yup..that's shooter error I also want to point out that shooting is a perishable skill. Back in my armed forces days putting 4 or 5 rounds into a cigarette pack at 800 was a walk in the park.... And now? Failing eyesight, working 2 jobs with little to no range time...well... I dont shoot over 300 anymore lol I spend my time now teaching that new guy ( with younger and better eyesight) and a fancy rifle patience, humility, and throw in a few tips I learned along the way. After all, knowledge is useless unless it's passed along My .02c [/QUOTE]
